What does this principle give you?
Does it have a positive effect on your results or game?
Do you have statistics that allow you to evaluate the effectiveness of applying this principle in practice?

How does that strategy work for you??
From what I can tell the OP is willing to call an all in, but won't go all in first, from that I believe he is playing the right way, the only time I go all in preflop is in CC games with a decent pocket pair when I know some clowns will stack off with shyte like A6os, which happened to me in a CC game this week.

Besides the warming pro review on this thread, and some helpful questions, which I'd translate as: you should look for solvers, validate equity. Even though it seems tempting to do that hero call, most of the times it turns into a coin flip, depending on your starting hands.
I am looking forward to seeing you come back here with some learnt lessons from the good feedbacks some of us have you.

Well I agree to a certain degree.How does that strategy work for you??

But did you never have spots where there is massive preflop action , from raise to 4bet to allin?
Usually that happens with two monsters like KK and AA ..
I guess it's rare.
But there are also other situation where an allin is the best option.
So saying you never play allin , only call allin is just nonsense .
When I encounter very loose players aka calling stations, its very easy that way to stack up

I don't think that is what the OP is meaning here, I think he means if the action limps or folds around to him he will not shove, but instead he will raise and then if need be call a shove. OP is meaning his initial action won't be a shove.
With AA or KK you want to get others into the hand, a shove as your initial action with those hands will most likely scare others off.

Makes sense 👍🏼I don't think that is what the OP is meaning here, I think he means if the action limps or folds around to him he will not shove, but instead he will raise and then if need be call a shove. OP is meaning his initial action won't be a shove.
? No I meant one is holding KK and the other one AA where it happens that it get raised and reraised preflop which results in an allin and call all in from bothWith AA or KK you want to get others into the hand, a shove as your initial action with those hands will most likely scare others off.

To me its actually quite unclear what OP is meaning here. But in general i guess calling allins more often than pushing allin yourself is not a winning strategy in the long run. But its quite common in freerolls that people do that. Instead of raising or pushing they limp call off which only gives them one way to win the hand.
